Pristim Supply Limited received the USD 1,354,881.48 Kidongo contract under World Bank contract 1793484. KEMFSED recorded an October 2024 construction launch and published active foundation and retaining works, but no current percentage, completion or operating handover is public.

Construction evidence follows the Pristim award

World Bank contract 1793484 establishes Pristim, reference KE-MOMBEMA-MSA-2024-008-CW, the signing date and USD commitment. The tender and Kidongo ESIA define the one-tonne-per-day ice plant, retaining wall, wastewater and shore-side scope. KEMFSED's newsletter dates the October launch and shows active works. Current progress, specialist awards, completion and handover remain unpublished.

Cold-chain readiness remains unverified at Kidongo

Kidongo couples a one-tonne-per-day ice plant with the social fish banda, BMU space, wastewater systems, retaining wall, drainage and utilities. The package hinges on civil delivery, cold-chain equipment, treatment commissioning and operating readiness, all of which require evidence beyond a launch photograph.

Evidence conclusion

Kidongo remains before completion and handover

Kidongo has the clearest physical-start image among the four sites, yet the evidence stops before current progress or completion. Award data identifies only the prime layer. Ice-plant supplier, treatment integrator, retaining-wall package, installed capacity tests, completion certificate, defects close-out and handover remain undisclosed as of 3 August 2026.

Outstanding evidence

  • Current foundation and retaining-wall progress
  • Ice-plant manufacturer and installer
  • Wastewater-treatment integration and testing
  • Utility connection and cold-chain commissioning
  • Completion certificate and defects close-out
  • BMU handover and operating performance
